Not everything in the Bible is true...

I kinda expected it naman that for a man to sacrifice, he must choose it or volunteer for it, hence it sounds like free will.

but from the word itself sacrifice, it's not your first choice or primary choice, talaga. you are compromising your true choice/will.

for example, if our President is asked (take note not ordered) to make a supreme sacrifice to step down from office. of course, no leader will just relinquish his/her post. ang gusto nya talaga complete the term.

another example, Honda Civic 2003 sacrifice sale P150k. If the owner had it his way, he will not sell that at such a bargain price. syempre kung ano yun fair market value dapat. That's the true choice talaga.

now let's go back God, you cannot argue that it is your own free will to follow God's will (to sacrifice). that defies the definition of free will. is it not?

it's the same as invoking your free will to follow another person's free will. if for example God is a person.

I have a question to our bible expert sir *Psalm. where is it in the bible that free will was mentioned? in the OT, there is the 10 commandments of God which alone suggests that there is no such thing as free will. even jesus in the NT never suggested the idea of free will. his message was to love one another, even your enemies. it's another form of order/commandment. with free will, you can choose not love one another and even your enemies pa.

so whoever suggested these so-called thing as "free will" as related to God, I doubt if he's a Christian. hindi kaya na-mix up lang, with movies like Devil's advocate, atheistic views etc. etc
